Empowering Youth Leadership: Our New Partnership with Project Green Schools
We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Project Green Schools, an organization dedicated to developing the next generation of environmental leaders. This collaboration strengthens our commitment to equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take meaningful climate action in their schools and communities.
Youth leadership is essential in shaping a climate stable future. Young people are already driving climate solutions, speaking up for change, and inspiring their peers, families, and local leaders. Through this partnership, we’ll provide students with new opportunities to engage in climate education, develop leadership skills, and take on real-world climate initiatives.
We’ve seen firsthand the power of student leadership through our work with school districts and through the inspiring efforts of past winners of our American Climate Leadership Awards. Students are stepping up to create solutions that make a difference in their communities. By expanding access to climate resources and training, we’re helping more young people turn their passion into action.
Together with Project Green Schools, we’re building a movement of young climate champions who are ready to lead. Stay tuned for ways students and schools can get involved — because the future of climate leadership starts now!
